  • Alba - Early Years Day Nursery, Greenford
Alba - Early Years Day Nursery is the UK's first ever "Head Start - Joy Nursery". Every aspect of teaching has been adapted using the latest neuroscience research, to help pupils develop the most valuable of skills - the skill of wellbeing. Evidence shows that wellbeing, the long term joy that comes from within, rather than from external sources, is badly needed for modern children. Research also shows - it can be taught, making them happier in the long term, more emotionally resilient to stress, setback and stresses, happier and enjoying closer relationships in life. So they combined the latest available evidence to help pupils develop this amazing gift for life.

The unique environment and curriculum goes well beyond Ofsted's expectations for an early years provider. Emotional intelligence, mindfulness and compassion are at the core of everything they do. The vast outdoor space - 22 acres of land and garden - plays an important role in this process. From growing herbs and vegetables with the children in the summer, to building hedgehog and bug hotels in the autumn, to nature walks throughout the year - pupils learn to notice, appreciate and take care of nature around. They learn to listen, to observe and to respect their own feelings and those of others.

The nursery believes that nurturing a desire to learn serves pupils well for the rest of their lives, providing scaffolding for future learning. STEM experiments, yoga, and mindfulness play a key role in daily life, building on their curiosity and developing concentration. The sensory room provides a source of exploration and wonder. And activities are designed to nurture children's curiosity, while developing a range of their physical, social, emotional and creative skills.

Review from Mihaela V (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I loved everything about this nursery. My son loved his teachers. Everyone were very friendly and creative, I was amazed about the things they have done at the time when my son was there. Now he is in reception year at school and he feels very confident when studying. He has very good behaviour, very
good English (we speak a different language at home). He was very well prepared for the big school, this was very important for us. It is a small nursery, and it feels like home. The owner is brilliant and loves being with the children and teaching them. The meals are cooked there and they can have as much as they want and it is always hot and fresh. They have a big playground and a huge field to explore.
In brief, I loved everything about this nursery.

We are so happy to have stumbled across such a wonderful nursery. It feels like home from home. The staff are wonderful, most of them mothers themselves and our daughter has a lovely bond with them all. Although not a large nursery with one main room the nursery garden is set within a playing field
and it feels as if you've escaped to the country. Meals are prepared on-site, which include a mix of variety and flavours. Our daughter will soon be moving out of the baby room and into the main pre-school room.

We couldn't have picked a better nursery! My son went here for 4 years and my daughter has been here for the last 2 years. A home from home feeling. My children have been so happy here. The staff are so friendly and kind and the owner cannot do enough for you. A little gem of a nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started The Early Years Day Nursery when she was nine months old and the settling in was so quick and that is because the staff were taking extra care over the small details of my child. Now we are all back to nursery again, my daughter is 3 years old. She can speak English and the staff
make her feel good there. In this nursery, kids feel they are at home. The nursery is small and makes the children feel special. I would recommend this place in all aspects.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is an excellent centre for early learning and provides an intellectually stimulating environment that is balanced with play-time activities. We are thrilled with how much our son has developed since joining Early Years Day Nursery and has achieved many great milestones. The staff are superb
and go above and beyond their job. Great outdoors, fresh and nutritious food but most of all it has the most welcoming feel. We are extremely happy with the all-round development of our son. He is growing to be an active, balanced and confident child. We couldn’t have chosen a better nursery and highly recommend Early Years Day Nursery to any parent.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.142)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.142) out of 10 for Alba - Early Years Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.242 for Alba - Early Years Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (18 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.242
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alba - Early Years Day Nursery is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
